How it works
Each Afriex Business API endpoint becomes an individually callable MCP tool. An AI assistant can create customers, send transactions, look up balances, and more, all via natural language.Authentication
You will need an Afriex Business API key from the dashboard. Connect your MCP client tohttps://mcp.afriex.com/mcp, then authenticate using one of two methods:
Method 1: HTTP headers (recommended)
Pass your API key directly in your MCP client config. The server captures these values and uses them for all subsequent Business API calls in the session:
| Header | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
x-afriex-api-key | Yes | Your Afriex Business API key |
x-afriex-environment | No | production or development (defaults to development) |
authenticate tool
After connecting, call the authenticate tool as your first action:
